Really? I've been very impressed with Amazon and we do almost all of our online shopping there. It's the very first place I check for anything. I know a TON of people who have Prime.
We are always looking for easier ways to get the stuff we need. Dog food for example. The wife found that it was the same cost to have it delivered to my front door from Amazon as it was to go to the store and lug it off the shelf, to the check out, to the car and into the house. WINNING!!
In my opinion, it's almost like Google in that the reputation they have as THE place to go when you want something.
"Google it" is for information.
"Amazon" is the equal to that IMO. They just need a bit more catchy slogan like "Google it".
However, I'm guessing E-bay was thought of in the same way at one point. The difference to me is that Amazon has a HUGE presence and investment in infrastructure. Meaning distribution centers. They will be hard to supplant unless they just eff it all up somehow.
